...but I fear you are right.

I'm thrilled that Obama has made climate change a cornerstone issue. It's wonderful, and about damned time a world leader took that bull by the horns.

But I can't shake the bad feeling about Keystone either.

We'll see. Regardless of Keystone, I do hope the rest of his climate initiative is all it's cracked up to be. We are so in need of leadership on the issue. Better late than never (not intended as a dig at Obama, rather as a comment on the overall climate situation).
